@ItsBiniR if they are significantly more abundant in the ip samples, I would consider them as potential interactors. If same abundance in both… then just sticky noodles…

A trivial question.. Why is there proteins in the negative control of an AP-MS experiment?? Especially when the AP-MS was done to identify the interacting proteins.. The presence of these proteins, albeit at a lower abundance, in the control discredit them as interactors??

#TeamMassSpec OT-2 and Evosep owners out there. Is an OT2 configuration with a 8-channel P300 and another P20 in the 8-channel seem ok? Does it matter if I’m left or right position? Thanks!

@AJ_Brenes @UCDProteomics The preceding “s” typo is a killer one! It also takes rank 1 in my worse typos (and there is a long list of these)

What’s your “favorite” typo communicating with collaborators? I once told someone I would ruin their samples as soon as I could 😳😱

@UCDProteomics Introducing a colleague as an “sexpert in quantitative proteomics”. Thank goodness the colleague has the best spirit in the word…

#TeamMassSpec to anyone who is using SimpliFi from protiFi to share projects with users… does the shared project update quickly on the user account or does it take some time?

Our Proteomics summer school is back for 2024! Don't want to miss it this year as we have some cool group research planned! The link below works even though it says 2023 :) proteomics.ucdavis.edu/events/2023-ha…

@ProteomicsNews @JohnsHopkins This sucks! It sounds like you have built the right thing on the wrong place. May the next one be The place with fair recognition and even better toys!

Mass spec throws tantrums when you are away at #ASMS2024.. Guess it's a way of showing rebellion for leaving them behind alone.. The brand new shiny Astral decided it is the right time to drain the N2 cylinder and throw an HCD vacuum error.. 😤😤😤

For the first time in a long time, possibly ever, I let the LC & mass spec run with full sets of samples over the weekend and did not check on it. Yet it somehow has WORKED! I came in to having data! #TeamMassSpec this feels surreal!

The luxury of keeping a vial full of samples in the autosampler and keeping on injecting from it until you work out the kinks of the method via remote login is something Evosep can't offer.. Guess we can't have it all, huh.. 😉 #MassSpecMusings

@OliverMBernhar1 That would probably be very helpful to weed out the few strays that pass statistical tests with low precision :-) Fantastic thanks! Will I see this on SN19?

#TeamMassSpec how can you filter data in Spectronaut analysis pane and then reflect it back to Post analysis so the plots are also updated?
